What is the Key to a Long and Happy Marriage

There are 10 important points that Each husband and wife should keep in their mind.I have read from a book..I think each and everypoint given is true to the core and if these points are folowed strictly,then no marriage will get divorced..so here we go 1. Never both be angry at the same time. 2. Never yell at each other unless the house is on fire. 3. If one of you has to win an argument ,let it be your mate. 4. If you have to criticize,do it lovingly. 5. Never bring up the mistakes of the past. 6. Neglect the whole world rather than each other. 7. Never go to sleep with an argument unsettled. 8. Atleast once evryday try to say one kind of complimentary thing to your life's partner. 9. When you have done something wrong be ready to admit it and ask for forgiveness. 10. It takes two to make a quarrel and the one in the wrong is one who does the most talking. Always keep these points with you and i am sure that everybody will accept it that following these points will keep your marriage and you mate happy...

Its all about compromising for each other and respecting each other. Only then can a marriage be successful.

I think you have to try and grow together, people never stop growing and sometimes people grow apart and travel down different paths, I think people have to try and keep going down that same path together...

Understanding, is the most important key to a long and happy marriage life.

Good understanding between the partners is a main Key for a long and Happy marriage life...

A couple for me should be dancing together, but there should be space between them...They should put God in the center of there relationship... I think the foundation of it is friendship, but first you have to have an open communication...it really depends on the situation...

I firmly believe that the key to any relationship is communication and honesty.Once the line of communication has been severed,all forms of miscommunication and suspicion will arise and choke out the trust in a relationship. In your opinion,what is the answer?Can you share your thoughts?

Hey, you changed your avatar! I think love, trust, understanding, friendship, devotion, non-stop giggling. No wait, not necessarily that last one. LOL Perhaps even some lust. Or maybe that can fall under attraction? Or is it a different sort of attraction? If you ask me, these things gotta come from both partners. Doing things for each other helps, too. They have to take care of each other. Laughter's good, too. I'd have to be with someone who can make me laugh. I swear I had something else to add, but I can't remember it now. Oh, similar interests helps. Is that enough or shall I go on? LOL

The key to happy married life is understanding, trust, commitments, respect and love ofcourse which is the most important thing in marriage. You should consider each other friends and share your feelings and thoughts. you should give space to each other. you should not interfere too much in your partner's personal life like by saying that you cannot talk to this person or something like that unless there is a genuine reason. this is just an example. Whenever you have a fight or misunderstanding, you should always take the initiative to talk or try your best from your side. Fight should not be taken to bed. Clear everything before going to bed. Never let doubts grow in your mind. Be open what you do and make your partnet understand that you love ur partner with all your heart. There is a need for expression of your feelings. You have to communicate and communicate.. That's what i feel you should do for your loved one.

ok the most important key is 1. TRUST you need to trust your partner. 2.LOVE you need to love your partner.which you cant do unless you trust. 3.UNDERSTANDING you need to understand the difficulty of your partner in approaching you with anything they wish to have. 4.FAITHFUL you need to be faithful to your partner to keep the bond strong forever.

Honesty .. Be each others friend .. Laugh together .. In hard times , remember each others best Love is loving them in their worst ...

It seems that you dont have that much information related to marriage. I am not married but instead I will tell you some points but do apply it on your life its my guarantee your marriage life will be successful ever after. Girls or wives need some neccessaru stuffs from her husband or from her boy. The first and the most important thing is love then caring then you must spend some bundles of money on her jewellery gift her on every special moments take her to the restaurants have some romence casually. These are some of the points and if you will apply these in your life I can bet you will always be a successful husband.

well! thats something you cant give a precise answer. the thing is marriage is such a dynamic entity that it depends on a lot of factors. For me tne first thing would be compatibility. one must be able to live with their spouse without having to compromise on something he or she doesnt believe in. then comes attraction. without attraction every relationship becomes bland. next comes friendship. one must have compassionate feelings for the other so that throughout their lives they are ready to sacrifice if the need comes.

I decided not to read the responses to this post. The reason is I want to express what is in my heart as the key to a long and happy marriage. I have been married for 22 years. My key is sharing and caring. When we got married initially, finance was hard to come by. We would cook and not eat out, we shared everything we had. The only holidays we took was time spent together walking along the seashore. Over the years, we still care and share. Finances are better but we learn to care for other family members who are in need.

Its the love, affection ,honesty,trust all these matters in happy marriage life . So always follow all these and automatically we will lead a vary happy married life And satify ur partner as much as she want.But withnot any compulsion. Thats it.

Well, being married, my guiding word for a long and happy marriage is the word REAL. REAL stands for: R - Respect E - Encouragement A - Acceptance L - Love In marriage, you have to be REAL for your part and don't be impossible. You have to respect, encourage, accept, and love your partner.

Friendship is top of my list, that has got to come first, with a good friendship builds the foundations for respect and loyalty, a good marriage also needs communication about everything, and the ability to tell the other when they have upset you and vice versa without having a slanging match and also have the ability to say sorry when you get things wrong. In a relationship you also need to be able to compromise, this is a big point in any relationship, you can't go into any relationship wanting to get your own way in everything. Other points needed, a sense of humour and being able to laugh at yourself when you have been really stupid and moody over something the other person has done, end up talking about it and then having a laugh. I suppose there are loads of other qualities needed but these are top of my list!

hi I thing it understanding and respect of each other which makes it[Marriage] long,happy and satisfying

Pure, True Love. That is the only key to make a Marriage Last, Happily and Lively. But in this era. It's extinct! So maybe the right answer is compatibility.
